Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

This is a sample academic plan only and is not meant to replace regular academic advising. This plan is flexible, and can be changed to accommodate Study Abroad, a second major and/or minor, or AP/IB credits. Completion of a minor or second major fulfills the GE I/M Cluster. Students should work with an academic advisor to develop a plan that meets their specific needs.

Minimum of 120 credits required to graduate, 42 must be upper division.

*MATH 115, MATH 116 is an accelerated two-semester calculus sequence that is an alternative to the MATH 110, MATH 111, MATH 210 sequence. The MATH 115, MATH 116 sequence is recommended for Mathematics majors but they can substitute the MATH 110, MATH 111, MATH 210 sequence if they choose.

**Mathematics/Civil Engineering majors are required to take FFC 100B - First Year Foundations: Grand Challenges in Science and Engineering, as well as SCI 150, SCI 200 and SCI 250.
